looks nice. I have often thought about trying night crappies, but was concerned about the bugs. Do you have a lot of luck at night ?
Don't want to hijack the thread but night crappie is a lot of fun, getting that time of year when the bugs become scarce and the slabs get crazy.Quote:

Minnows. I have been playing with jigs the last few weeks and haven't found the right one yet. But not worried too much as I get my minnows free.

i have always luved nite fishing. Usually the mosqitos come in thats when the bite really starts just before. i spray down and fish on. there are times locations have a lot of blind mosquitos and they will run even me out . Usually the regular mosquito thins out quite a bit after while and then its great but the BLIND MOSQUITOS STAYS THE ALL NIGHT LOOKING FOR YOU--THEY DONT BITE BUT THEY ARE SOOO THICK YOU CAN HARDLY KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. i have mosquiro netting hats tht i have used at times like lake istapogo in seebring--i will tell u right now that lake has not only mosquitoes at mnight it has every flying creature in the state.
Thankfully the bugs are currently at a minimum. The mayflies finally realized that May was over and the blind skeeters only got me 1 night but I outlasted them.

You need to get you a thermacell or two!
They are great at keeping skeeters away.
Does a thermocell repel anything else besides mosquitoes???
Love night fishing.

Come on down to central Florida, I always have room for another angler, besides I am sure that I could learn something.Sent from my SM-G900V using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

I have to agree with him that they are useless. I have tried several and have yet to see a difference.Quote:

What "techniques" do you find productive as far as night fishing?
The couple times I've tried, I've set up with submerged lights and put baits out and waited for bait to show. Never had much luck, but might be the lakes I'm fishing.
I use halagon spot lights on the side of the boat and fish with live minnows at various depths until I get them hitting. A friend tried the leds mounted the same way and I consistently catch about 5 to his 1 even when we swap locations of our boats.

Thank you Rob would love to take you up on your offer sometime.

I really had high hopes of them working, I hate bug spray and bugtamer suits are very hot. Still using bug spray and wear Bugtamers when in woods hunting. I tried 2 of the handheld style and 1 of the lantern style. Actually had the lantern under my chair at a ball game and had mosquitoes all over me. Second try at that one and it went into lagoon as far as I could throw it.Quote:
